I am unfortunately hitting an issue with packit never establishing ssh connection.
The image I'm using requires either login as cloud-user or passing userdata that would allow root ssh auth. Unfortunately specifying ssh_username: cloud-user in the template does not cut it and there looks like no option for supplying userdata to be passed to instance create command (based on what https://github.com/ppc64le-cloud/packer-plugin-powervs/blob/main/builder/powervs/builder.hcl2spec.go#L25 has to offer).

powervs: output will be in this color.

==> Builds finished but no artifacts were created.
At the same time one can totally reach the machine as [email protected] and there is indeed the proper ssh key in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys (the one specified by key_pair_name).
The goal is to achieve the same functionality as the ibmcloud pi plugin instance create call:
ibmcloud pi instance create artemis-pi-manual-boot --image rhel-9-6-0-20241209-d-1 --subnets 969ef856-27e9-4255-ae9e-61b1a7bb6e2f --key-name ivasilev --user-data ~/projects/artemis/server/configuration/userdata_allow_root
